BHUBANESWAR
Once dubbed the ‘Temple City’, Bhubaneswar is an enthralling pit stop for a day or two as you take in the old city’s holy centre around the ceremonial tank called Bindu Sagar. Being the seat of Tribhubaneswar or 'Lord Lingaraj', Bhubaneswar is an important Hindu pilgrimage centre. Hundreds of temples dot the landscape of the Old Town, which once boasted of more than 2000 temples. Bhubaneswar is the place where temple building activities of Orissan style flowered from its very inception to its fullest culmination extending over a period of over one thousand years.
